Following in the tradition of $15 packs of cigarettes being opened so the smokes can be sold individually, New York City’s bodegas are starting to sell eggs as “loosies” too, WCBS reports.

“If you have $20 and you want to make breakfast for two or three people, and you’re already spending $12 for one item, something, how are they going to buy the bread, the milk, the butter and all that stuff?” said Bronx bodegaman Radhames Rodriguez, whose $12 dozen eggs can now be bought three for $3. The idea isn’t exactly revolutionary given the aforementioned cigarette offerings and that individual hardboiled eggs typically are available for sale at these places too, so much as just another sign of the times of Americans living with the second Trump Regime’s failures.

White House Economic Council wiener Kevin Hassett on Sunday laid out the Trump Administration’s plan for tackling the bird flu and egg price crises: Blaming the Biden Administration. There was a little bit in there about “biosecurity” or some shit but Hassett wasn’t very specific about that. In any event, Politico reported on Saturday that 25 percent of the staff at the USDA’s National Animal Health Laboratory Network – the office handling the bird flu response – have been laid off.

“The 14th Amendment Right of American Citizenship never had anything to do with modern day ‘gate crashers,’ illegal immigrants who break the Law by being in our Country, it had everything to do with giving Citizenship to former slaves. Our Founding Fathers are ‘spinning in their graves’ at the idea that our Country can be taken away from us. No Nation in the World has anything like this. Our lawyers and Judges have to be tough, and protect America!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, feeling a bit uninhibited on the racism thing with the “our Country can be taken away from us” part after repeating some shit one of his “legal scholar” minions came up with.

And while yes, the intent and immediate effect of the 14th was indeed giving citizenship to former slaves, the wording left open that gap that the Wong Kim Ark decision bridged. This fat fucking idiot just doesn’t get it and posts like this probably won’t help his case. Anti-anti-Trump douchebag Dan McLoughlin at the National Review laid out last week why Donald’s ban is almost certainly DOA.

Just wait libs, President Trump is going to completely teabag Putin in these peace talks. Watch the 5D chessmaster in action soon. It’s coming. You’ll be as shocked and awed as Putin himself.

Swannanoa, North Carolina Trump fan Emily Russell, who lost her home in the cataclysmic deluge wrought by Hurricane Helene in September, tells the AP she’s on board with the convicted felon president’s stated goal of “getting rid of” the Federal Emergency Management Agency because they were “no help” with getting her house rebuilt and her personal items replaced.

Russell did not say what she would want the agency replaced with or how she envisions federal aid should be rendered if her home were to be wiped out again. She just wants FEMA gone.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal law enforcement agency, its agents are peace officers. If they bust down the doors of a house suspected to be full of illegal immigrants and instead find a US citizen wanted for bank robbery, they will effect an arrest and hand him over to local police or sheriff’s deputies. They don’t stay out of it just because it isn’t in their mandate.

Thus if Tom Homan really thinks that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is aiding and abetting there’s not a lot stopping him from ordering ICE agents to arrest her on probable cause for interfering with federal law enforcement or obstructing justice or whatever. If he’s tired of answering this question and reluctant because a judge is going to pretty much immediately determining the arrest was bullshit and order her released well then that’s his problem and he shouldn’t have sounded like such a fucking Nazi by claiming she was breaking the law.

In a letter sent to ratepayers in two Huntsville, Alabama-area counties that voted for convicted felon President Trump by margins of 9 and 43 percent in the November election, provider Huntsville Utilities informed them that the fat fuck is directly responsible for a $100 increase in their heating bill next month after he canceled a grant for that amount on his third day in office.

“This letter informs you that your above-referenced utility account has been debited for $100. Community Action Agency of Huntsville/Madison and Limestone Counties has notified us that the grant you received for $100.00 on January 23, 2025 is no longer valid due to President Trump’s executive order to rescind the funding behind the grant. The grant you received for $100 has been debited to your account [number] and will be due with your next invoice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you need to make payment arrangements or have questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our office at [phone number],” says the February 7th letter obtained by Popular.Info’s Judd Legum, emphasis added on Trump being named as responsible.

Usually when a politician promises to do something like say, cut energy costs in half, it might help to use whatever preexisting resources are available rather than dig a hole, right?

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime has ended their daily reporting on immigration arrest numbers, with his minions telling the Washington Post they’re now going to be doing it on a monthly basis to “conserve resources.” Those were the Post’s words rather than a direct quote from a source but seriously l-o-fucking-l. What the hell kind of resources are being saved here? It need not even be said here, but there’s almost no way the data isn’t simply a count of arrest affidavits entered into the federal court system by ICE anyway, meaning that it’s simply a matter of grouping the record count by month rather than date to dilute the declining pace – the Post writes arrests are down to around 600 per day after a peak of roughly 800, well short of the target of 1,700/day.

Holy shit that is so lame. Even lamer is how leadership are now telling ICE agents to work extra shifts and defer vacations to plug these ever-diminishing returns. White House spokesworm Kush Desai tried to divert attention to the regime’s performative actions at the border, claiming to the Post that Trump has “already delivered on the resounding mandate that the American people gave him in November to put an end to the Biden administration’s malfeasant handling of our southern border.”

Jason Houser, chief of staff for ICE during the Biden administration, said “I see a lot of show. This administration wants to continuously bring in every piece of the government away from their mission.” He added that federal law enforcement officials who usually focus on illicit firearms, drugs and sex traffickers are now “standing around in their jackets arresting noncriminals.”

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday, really doing away with whatever thin pretenses had still existed over these past weeks.

A shark clearly beyond sick and tired of these fucking tourists with their goddamned selfies in its natural habitat took its rage out on a 55 year-old Canadian in the shallows at a beach on Turks and Caicos last week, chomping off both her hands as she attempted to take a pic with it, NDTV reports.

In a statement, the Caribbean British territory’s government left out that specific detail and the woman’s nationality, writing, “On Friday 7th February a tourist was injured by a shark in the waters adjacent to Blue Hills, Providenciales. The individual was taken to Cheshire Hall Medical Centre where she was stabilized and later flown off island for further medical care. Upon confirmation of the incident the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR) issued a beach closure notification from Thompson’s Cove Beach to Froggies ATV, Blue Hills in an abundance of caution.”

“The beach was reopened on Sunday, February 9th at 1pm after it was determined that the shark had moved to deeper water. The shark was estimated to be approximately 6 ft in length, however the species is yet to be confirmed. Further to the investigation, it has been determined that the tourist had attempted to engage with the animal from the shallows in an attempt to take photographs. The DECR would like to urge the public to always be aware of your surroundings, follow local advisories, and respect marine life. Swim in designated areas, avoid murky waters, never swim alone, and do not attempt to feed marine wildlife under any circumstances.”

Definitely some intentional shade in that last part about not feeding marine wildlife.

“Earlier this week, I called on the New York City Law Department and Mayor Adams to pursue aggressive legal action against President Trump and his crony Elon Musk to recover the $80 million in FEMA funding seized from the City’s bank account. Given the gravity of the situation, we cannot afford to waste any more time. If the Mayor would prefer to spend his days advancing President Trump’s agenda instead of fighting for New Yorkers, then the Law Department must allow me to do so,” said New York City Comptroller Brad Lander in a statement on Friday. The Comptroller’s office is an elected post that acts independently of the mayorship, thus the Trump Regime’s new poodle Eric Adams cannot fire Lander for “going rogue” and attacking his abusive new masters.

“Today, I sent a letter urging the Law Department to immediately initiate legal action to secure the return of these funds from the federal government, and I am demanding that the Law Department confirm their intent to file suit, along with the anticipated filing date, by no later than 5 PM today. If the Law Department will not proceed with immediate and aggressive legal action, then for the sake of New Yorkers, they must authorize my Office to engage outside legal counsel to represent the City. To this, I expect the Law Department’s response by 10 AM on Tuesday, February 18.”

“Recovering these funds is imperative, and any action, or non-action, allowing the Trump administration to proceed without consequence would set a dangerous precedent and make our City a target for the next four years. It would be a dereliction of duty for me, as the City’s chief financial officer, to not stand up against this federal overreach—and I am now, and will continue, pursuing every option available to defend from President Trump, his henchmen, and anyone else working against the interests of New York City,” Lander continued in the statement.

“Hamas has just released three Hostages from GAZA, including an American Citizen. They seem to be in good shape! This differs from their statement last week that they would not release any Hostages. Israel will now have to decide what they will do about the 12:00 O’CLOCK, TODAY, DEADLINE imposed on the release of ALL HOSTAGES. The United States will back the decision they make!” wrote convicted felon President Trump in a Saturday morning post on his lame Twitter clone.

The post comes five days after the fat fuck responded to Hamas suspending the hostage releases by telling reporters “Well, I would say this, and I’m going to let that be because that’s Israel’s decision, but as far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock, I think it’s an appropriate time, I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. I’d say they ought to be returned by 12 o’clock on Saturday. And if they’re not returned – all of them, not in dribs and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two, Saturday at 12 o’clock. And after that, I would say all hell is going to break out. And I don’t think they’re going to do it. I think a lot of them are dead. I think a lot of the hostages are dead,” emphasis added on the non-specifying in which time zone the deadline applied and the insistence that all of the remaining hostages be released.

It’s already mid-afternoon in Jerusalem, so he probably actually meant 12 PM Eastern in the United States. Either way it’s pretty on-brand how the orange pussy writes “Israel will now have to decide what they will do” about Hamas failing to meet the deadline Trump himself “imposed on the release of ALL HOSTAGES,” all but admitting outright that he’s not going to be ordering the US military to start bombing Gaza and that he was full of shit the whole time. Real tough guy, that Donald Trump.

It should be clear by now that Goodfellas is not a drama or even really a “biopic” but a black comedy about violent gangsters in New York City very loosely based on a memoir written by a lowlife. Can a movie where there’s a character who other Italian-Americans call “Frankie the Wop” because he’s more Italian than them be taken as seriously as The Godfather ? Or the scene where the guys are eating in the mom’s dining room snickering about how her painting of an old man looks like the dude half-dead in the trunk of the car? Or how Henry’s mother-in-law screams about how her husband hasn’t been able to digest a meal in five weeks? That was borderline antisemitic.

Scumbag Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday finally found the schmucks who will make a blatantly corrupt move rather than resign and file for dismissal of the charges against dipshit New York City Mayor Eric Adams to hold him hostage. Still though, the DC-based DOJ officials who signed off on the motion made it clear to the judge that it was all Bove’s idea.

“In connection with that determination and directive, the Acting Deputy Attorney General also concluded that continuing these proceedings would interfere with the defendant’s ability to govern in New York City, which poses unacceptable threats to public safety, national security, and related federal immigration initiatives and policies. See, eg, Executive Order 14159, 90 Fed Reg 8443; Executive Order 14165, 90 Fed Reg 8467. The Acting Deputy Attorney General reached that conclusion after learning, among other things, that as a result of these proceedings, Adams has been denied access to sensitive information that the Acting Deputy Attorney General believes is necessary for Adams to govern and to help protect the City,” wrote sacrificial lambs Antoinette T Bacon, titled “Supervisory Official, Criminal Division” and Edward Sullivan, titled “Senior Litigation Counsel Public Integrity Section Criminal Division” at Main Justice in DC.

An autopsy report from the Alameda County, California Coroner’s office revealed that the driver of the Cybertruck in the deadly Thanksgiving weekend crash had a BAC of 0.195 percent and cocaine in his system when he got himself a two other 2023 graduates of Piedmont High School killed by wrapping the hideous geometric malformation around a tree at 3:08 AM, USA Today reports.

So yeah it was probably 19 year-old USC sophomore Soren Dixon’s fault when he got his friends Krysta Tsukahara and Jack Nelson, also 19, killed and incinerated along with him, not Elon Musk’s for cutting corners on safety features or faulty programming in the self-driving feature. Probably.

The MAGA octogenarian who in 2023 shot a Black Kansas City teenager in the head for the crime of approaching the wrong house pleaded guilty to second-degree assault on Friday, the AP reports.

Andrew Lester, 86, was scheduled to stand trial next week on charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the shooting of the then-16 year-old honor student Ralph Yarl, who survived and is now a freshman at Texas A&M and a member of ROTC as well as the school’s marching band.

Lester was in a wheelchair for the plea hearing. He faces up to seven years in the joint next month, though obviously nobody should expect much if any real time for an immobile convict.

A violent eruption could take place in the vicinity of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s family soon as scientists with the US Geological Survey say it could be far worse than Todd blasting his ex-son-in-law with a shotgun shell full of rock salt. Per a Thursday USGS advisory, “unrest continues at Mount Spurr, with numerous small, shallow volcanic earthquakes detected beneath the volcano over the past day. Currently, the earthquakes are being located under the Crater Peak vent as well as under the summit of Mount Spurr. No unusual activity was observed in clear satellite and web camera views. A small steam plume from the summit vent was visible in ANCW web camera views.”

“AVO continues to monitor activity at Mount Spurr for signals that would indicate that the volcano is moving closer to an eruption. Based on previous eruptions, changes from current activity in the earthquakes, ground deformation, summit lake, and fumaroles would be expected if magma began to move closer to the surface. Therefore, it is very likely that if an eruption were to occur it would be preceded by additional signals that would allow advance warning. The volcano is monitored using local seismic, infrasound, web camera, and GNSS stations along with regional infrasound, lightning networks and satellite data,” the update continued. The volcano, just west of the Palins’ town, last erupted in 1992, a moderate event that sent a layer of ash onto nearby Anchorage and made a mess of busy trans-Pacific air corridors. It’s not clear yet how much fire’s in this fucker’s belly right now.

Purposefully shitting on one of the very few of his actually positive accomplishments during his failed first term, convicted felon President Trump will on Friday sign an executive order abolishing COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools, the Washington Examiner reports on what’s probably going to be the top of a slippery slope where every inoculation is opt-out for school children.

An analysis by the New York Times infers that Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, who could personally sign off on a dismissal of the charges against dipshit New York City Mayor Eric Adams if he really wanted to, is holding back and letting an ongoing exodus to continue at the SDNY’s office because he’s “loath to sign the document himself because of the extra scrutiny it would entail.”

Lol. No issue with the analysis itself, they probably nailed it, yet they don’t go into the bigger question of why the fuck Bove is acting like that ship hasn’t already sailed when he literally said he had “concluded earlier this week that the prosecution of Mayor Adams must be dismissed in order to prioritize national security and public safety.” The Times believes that it’s got more to do with the court than anything else, writing “The judge overseeing the Adams case, Dale Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan, may well demand answers of whomever submits such a document,” but again, he’s going to be asking hard questions of the feds anyway. It should be noted however that the case is as good as dead even if Ho refuses to dismiss the charges. It’s not going anywhere if prosecutors don’t show up and they won’t, no matter how much hell the judge gives them.

Still it may be safe to conclude that Bove is such a bitch he wants to stay in DC and let some underling in New York to stand there and take that hell. Pretty on-brand for MAGA. It also may become pointless as this version of the Saturday Night Massacre is now on its seventh prosecutor.
